A Dinner

Allow two hours to prepare this dinner, if custard has been made beforehand. If places for more than four must be set, or if extra china and linen must be taken out, begin earlier and partly lay the table before putting the meat in the oven.

For recipes and directions for Tomato Soup, see p. 256, for Boiled Potatoes, p. 59, for Lettuce with French Dressing, pp. 259-261, for Cheesed Crackers, p. 102, for Caramel Custard, p. 284, and for Coffee (filtered), p. 343.

Pour just enough melted butter over the potatoes to coat them, and sprinkle lightly with finely cut parsley.

Order Of Work

1. Wipe the meat and put it in the roasting-pan. One hour and a half before the dinner-hour, put it in the oven. Prepare mint and sugar for mint sauce, if not already done.
